After waiting for a while, Lin Yazhu finally managed to suppress her chaotic emotions.
She spoke up: "An Ya, neither Zhan Xiuchen's father nor I knew that Xiuchen already had a fiancée. Otherwise, his father would not have traveled thousands of miles to the An family for a marriage alliance. After all, what good would it do for my Zhan family to offend the An family?"
"So don't be angry. Besides, that woman from Baiyu Palace, Zhan Xiuchen's so-called fiancée, is nothing compared to you, An Ya! It's like comparing heaven and earth!"
"Zhan Xiuchen is so blind! He actually wants to marry such a woman!"
At this point, Lin Yazhu changed the subject.
She said, "Anya, you are a noble lady, so naturally we can't wrong you. So before I thought Xiu Chen was a good match for you, but now I don't think so. Xiu Chen is not good enough for you, but my Zhan family has more than just Xiu Chen. Your uncle and I have another child named Zhan Wang, who is even more outstanding than Xiu Chen."
Lin Yazhu tentatively looked at An Ya: "So An Ya, do you want to meet Zhan Wang?"
"Do you treat me like merchandise?" Anya scoffed. "If this one doesn't work, then move on to the next one?"
Lin Yazhu: "......."
She was sweating profusely.
An Ya's sharp tongue was completely unexpected by Lin Yazhu!
Lin Yazhu chuckled awkwardly, "An Ya, how could I have meant that? You are the young lady of the An family, how could you be a mere commodity? It's just that Zhan Wang is indeed more outstanding, that's why I was talking to you."
“He’s more outstanding, so why isn’t he the president?” Anya got straight to the point.
Lin Yazhu: "......."
She forced an explanation: "Because Xiu Chen is his older brother, Zhan Wang is more considerate..."
The implication is...
The presidency should have been held by Zhan Wang.
Zhan Wang was modest, which is why he gave it to Zhan Xiuchen.
Anya scoffed, "Humility? There's no such thing as humility in this world! Humility is cowardice! I, Anya, don't need cowardly men!"
Lin Yazhu: "......."
For a moment, Lin Yazhu didn't know what to say!
Anya was completely unexpected.
She had assumed that wealthy heiresses were delicate and simple-minded.
Once Anya comes to Country A, then whatever Lin Yazhu says goes!
Anya will definitely be completely fooled by her!
But to her utter surprise, Anya herself was completely different from what she had imagined!
This Anya!
That's so unique!
Lin Yazhu's head began to ache.
As fate would have it, the phone rang.
When Lin Yazhu looked at the caller ID, she was surprised to see that it was Zhan Xiuchen calling.
This surprised Lin Yazhu.
Although she is Zhan Xiuchen's stepmother and family, they actually have no contact with each other in private.
Wakabayashi Masatake's memory is correct.
This was the first time Zhan Xiuchen had taken the initiative to call her.
With Anya there, Lin Yazhu didn't know whether to answer or not.
While I was hesitating, my phone was suddenly taken away.
Lin Yazhu: "......."
Anya.
Anya took the phone, then pressed the speakerphone button and handed it back to Lin Yazhu.
Lin Yazhu naturally didn't want Anya to overhear her conversation with Zhan Xiuchen.
But she couldn't afford to embarrass Anya too much.
After all, this rich young lady is the one who's so angry.
If she continues to be so disrespectful now, what if Anya gets angry and runs home to complain, and it reaches Zhan Leiting's ears?
Lin Yazhu had no choice but to grit her teeth and hold the phone.
Meanwhile, Zhan Xiuchen's voice came from the other end of the phone.
The man's voice, coming through the phone, sounded particularly magnetic, yet carried an innate coldness: "Aunt Lin, did you just bring people to the White Jade Palace?"
Lin Yazhu's voice was almost forced out: "Xiu Chen, that's the daughter of the An family, and she's a perfect match for the Zhan family. Your father and I both believe that you and the An family's daughter are a perfect match, so your father and I both hope..."
Before she could finish speaking, Zhan Xiuchen interrupted her: "Don't get your hopes up, Aunt Lin. I don't care what your purpose is, but you can set your sights on me, not on Shi Nian."
"Shi Nian is Zhan Xiuchen's fiancée. I don't want her to be hurt by anyone, and I especially don't want her to be upset or saddened by anything."
After a pause, Zhan Xiuchen's voice grew even colder.
The coldness was as if a blast of cold air emanated from the phone, almost freezing one to the bone: "Aunt Lin, you are my elder, so I will only say this once, because I believe you can understand, but..."
"If you don't understand, you don't need to be an elder anymore."
The last sentence was no longer filled with coldness.
Instead, it carried a subtle hint of murderous intent.
"Beep beep beep".
Zhan Xiuchen hung up the phone immediately.
Lin Yazhu's hand holding the phone stiffened slightly.
Zhan Xiuchen has always been adept at handling interpersonal relationships and dealing with people in public.
So she really didn't expect that Zhan Xiuchen would call and threaten her directly.
This is practically tearing away the last veil of pretense!
This caused a flash of anger to appear in Lin Yazhu's eyes!
